Vindi surprised her friends and family when she chose to pursue medicine in Starfleet. Her brother, Thirisar, had joined Starfleet several years previous and had gone into security. She would eventually come to serve on the Grissom where she was well liked and respected. Vindi did not have any problems with handling the by the book gruffness of CaptainJ.T. Esteban, with whom she was involved in a relationship, known only to a select few (Star Trek: Grissom). Vindi's dog Muggle a black pomeranian canine, was a gift from Esteban. Vindi was among those killed when the Grissom was destroyed in 2285 by a Klingon Bird-of-Prey (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
